Very easy step-by-step instructions with pictures for every step.

Like:
Lots of room and many pockets
Dislike:
Ruffle

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I extended the front flap and didn't make the ruffles. I am using it as a messenger bag.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
I would sew it again, and absolutely recommend it! Next time I will add zipper pockets on the front under the flap and at the back.
Conclusion:
I was looking for a nice messenger bag with lots of pockets. I found this pattern and thought it be perfect. With little changes it is now a lovely messenger bag with lots of pockets inside.

Thanks for such a great review and I love the bag. I would never have thought to change up a diaper bag this way. If you don't mind I think I will do the same!
